Short-term exercise before lung cancer surgery
Part of Cancer, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This trial tests if doing exercise before lung cancer surgery can help people with moderate-to-high risk. Participants will exercise for a short period to see if it improves their recovery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You have suspected or confirmed lung cancer and are scheduled for surgery.
- Your lung function or exercise capacity is below certain levels (moderate-to-high risk for surgery).
- You can complete a cardiopulmonary exercise test (a standard test of your heart and lungs during exercise).
- You do not have any other current or past cancers (except lung cancer).
- You are able to exercise safely (no major physical limitations like frailty or muscle problems).

This study tests whether patients with early-stage lung cancer can safely do exercise training before receiving radiation therapy. The goal is to see if exercising beforehand helps patients stay stronger and recover better.
This trial studies a low-time, high-intensity interval exercise program in people with non-small cell lung cancer who are stable and in remission after surgery. It may help improve fitness and recovery without requiring long exercise sessions.
This study tests a personalized exercise program for people with stage II or III non-small cell lung cancer who are about to start cancer treatment before surgery. The goal is to see if exercise can help prepare your body for treatment and recovery.
This trial tests a prehabilitation and early home rehabilitation program using a mobile app to help lung cancer patients get stronger before and after surgery. It aims to improve recovery and quality of life.
This trial tests a short, intensive exercise program (pulmonary rehab) before lung cancer surgery. It also helps people quit smoking during the program. The goal is to see if this approach improves recovery after surgery.
This study tests if doing breathing exercises before lung cancer surgery can help you recover better. You will use a smartphone to get instructions and do the exercises at home.
